aps/biz/UsersCollection

This is a combined widget that simplifies user management for applications providing their own service on the per-user basis.

templateString: [private] String Template string.

Overview

The widget is closely integrated with the platform to present a list of users associated with a particular customer.

../../../../../_images/user-collection.png

By default, the widget consists of a grid with two columns (“Name” and “Actions”) and a toobar with two predefined buttons (“Add New user” and “Remove Service”). The default configuration allows a customer to see the list of all users, those who can use a service from the application and those who cannot. The one of the buttons starts the platform built-in user creation wizard to create users and assign the application service to them. The other button removes the service assigned to the selected users.

The Manage User Collection part of the User Management demo project illustrates the use of the widget.

Return: undefined

ARGUMENT

TYPE

DESCRIPTION

child

Widget

Child widget

insertIndex

Number
String

Position child in the parent widget

cancel

Sets the isBusy property to false.

Return: object

destroy

Destroys this widget. Will also destroy any resources (including widgets) registered via this.own(). This method will also destroy internal widgets such as those created from a template.

Return: undefined

focus

Focusing the focusable child

Return: aps/_containerbase function

get

Get a property of the Stateful instance. Get a named property of the Stateful object. The property may potentially be retrieved via a getter method in subclasses.

In the base class, this just retrieves the object’s property.

Return: any

getAdditionalData

Function for additional data requests. Single parameter - users for current page of aps/Grid. Function should return a new array of users with additional data or a respective promise. Example: function (data) { const ids = data.map(function (user) { return user.aps.id }); return xhr(‘/get/additional/data/, { data: ids }).then(function (additionalData) { return data.map(function (user) { user.additionalData = additionalData[user.aps.id]; return user }); }); }

Return: any

ARGUMENT

TYPE

DESCRIPTION

data

undefined

getChildren

Returns all direct children of this widget, i.e. all widgets underneath this.containerNode whose parent is this widget. Note that it returns not all descendetns, but only the direct children. Analogous to Node.childNodes, except containing widgets rather than DOMNodes.

The result intentionally excludes internally created widgets (a.k.a. supporting widgets) outside of this.containerNode.

Note the returned array is a simple array. The application code should not assume existence of methods like forEach().

Return: array

getParents

Discover and return all parents of the widget.

Return: array

getUserActions

Single parameter - user. Function should return array of items for aps/DropDownButton

Return: any

placeAt

Place this widget somewhere in the DOM based on standard dojo/dom-construct::place() conventions. A convenience function providing a simple shorthand mechanism to put an existing (or newly created) widget somewhere in the DOM, and allow chaining.

Return: dijit/_widgetbase function

postCreate

refresh

Refresh a page.

Return: undefined

removeAll

Remove all children in the widget.

Return: undefined

removeChild

Removes the passed widget instance from this widget and destroys it. You can also pass in an integer indicating the index within the container to remove (ie, removeChild(5) removes the sixth widget).

Return: undefined

ARGUMENT

TYPE

DESCRIPTION

widget

Widget
Int

Child widget or index

reset

Resets the widget.

Return: undefined

set

Set a property of the Stateful instance. Sets named properties of the stateful object and notifies the watchers of the property. A programmatic setter may be defined in subclasses.

Return: object function

startup

Gets started after the DOM fragment is added to the document Called after the widget and its children have been created and added to the page, and all related widgets have finished their create() cycle, up through postCreate().

Note that startup() may be called while the widget is still hidden, for example if the widget is inside a hidden dijit/Dialog or an unselected tab of a dijit/layout/TabContainer. For widgets that need to do layout, it’s best to put that layout code inside resize(), and then extend dijit/layout/_LayoutWidget so that resize() is called when the widget is visible.

Return: undefined

unassignBtnHandler

ARGUMENT

TYPE

DESCRIPTION

selectedUsers

undefined

validate

Called by oninit, onblur, and onkeypress. Show missing or invalid messages if appropriate, and highlight textbox field.
